A search for 'sourceMappingURL' reveals that this is something that is
used to allow one to debug minified JS, by ensuring that one can map
back to the original source -- I think you should mention that fact, as
repeatedly using the term sourceMappingURL without bothering to define
it forces one to wonder what it is supposed to mean.

How about:

 This module provides functions for manipulating sourceMappingURL
 comments (searching for, inserting and removing them).
 .
 These comments are used to provide the ability to map code that has
 been browserified/minified back to the original source files, to
 facilitate debugging.
 .
 Node.js is an event-based server-side JavaScript engine.

Cheers, Phil.
